lpv:translated text	"I agreed with this proposal, because waste electrical and electronic equipment represents the fastest-growing waste stream. On the one hand, we need to address the environmental and health consequences if this equipment is not properly treated and disposed of and, on the other, there is a serious problem of loss of raw materials. In a globalised economy, the efficient and innovative use of energy, materials and resources is a key issue. Stepping up the collection and proper treatment of this waste in accordance with the directive thus constitutes a major challenge and necessity. We must consider and promote the appropriate collection and treatment of waste electrical and electronic equipment, because decisive measures help to promote balanced economic growth without harming the environment and clean and healthy surroundings for our citizens. I agree with the opinion that not just manufacturers and Member States, but we consumers ourselves must contribute to the creation of clean and healthy surroundings and must bear a significant share of responsibility for ensuring that waste equipment is disposed of properly. Too many appliances either lie forgotten and unused in drawers or cupboards or end up, illegally, in the domestic waste bin. The Member States must use all available means to achieve ambitious collection rates, although the objectives outlined will not be easy to achieve. That the task is possible is clear from the rates already achieved in some countries. If we want to maintain a high level of consumption in the future, we must act more responsibly with natural capital that remains and not waste it."@en1
